Evidently, I just don’t get it.  When my girls text their friends while they’re talking to me; when they attempt to text their friends during dinner (which is not allowed in our home by the way); or when they invite a girlfriend over and then sit next to each other for hours in silence and [...]

Watch both of these clips and decide who you think is the bigger buffoon.  Pat or Rush?

Susan Jacoby, the author of The Age of American Unreason and a writer for the Washington Post, is celebrating the top developments in American secularism in 2009.  They are as follows:
#1: In April, the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life reported that those with no religious affiliation—the unchurched–were the fastest-growing group in the American [...]

What a mess Tiger Woods has gotten himself into.  I’m a sports junkie, so I’ve been following his situation closely.  Actually, I have no choice as Tiger’s unfolding story is featured on every sports and news outlet known to man.  Wanna see the football highlights from this past weekend?  Gotta wade through Tiger’s mess first.  [...]

Rick Warren draws our attention to some interesting – and profound – facts about modern Christianity.  Here’s what he says…

Heading out to Wal-Mart to do some Christmas shopping?  If so, consider these facts…
Americans spend $36,000,000 at Wal-Mart every hour of every day.  This works out to $20,928 profit every minute.

Wal-Mart is bigger than Home Depot + Kroger + Target + Sears + Costco [...]

It was a difficult Sunday here at the Potter home.  My son, Taylor, and I watched helplessly as the hapless Kansas City Chiefs defeated our beloved Pittsburgh Steelers.  Granted, it was a road game, but if you’ve ever seen the Pittsburgh Steelers play a road game, it’s not uncommon to see thousands of fans waving [...]

I love movies.  But lately, there hasn’t been much worth seeing.  No good westerns (like Open Range or 3:10 to Yuma); no epics like Lord of the Rings; I’ve already seen District 9 twice; and I hate all the Halloween slasher films (Saw XVII).  So, because last weekend was a “slow” movie weekend, Michelle and [...]

Brett Favre is amazing.  Taylor and I watched him defeat his former team – the Green Bay Packers – tonight, and we were both amazed.  At 39 years old, the man has still got some serious game!  As I was watching, it dawned on me, Brett and I have something in common: we’re both the [...]

In honor of the Pittsburgh Steelers opening the 2009 NFL season tonight against the Tennessee Titans, and because I live in a place infested with Dallas Cowboys fans, I offer you The Top 6 Reasons Why the Steelers Are Better Than the Cowboys.
